Can you shorten the upright sections of the trans mount to gain a couple inches of upward movement?

Can you shorten the upright sections of the trans mount to gain a couple inches of upward movement? Are you saying to cut the flat bars loose on top of the main bracket, and jack the trans up higher, and then reweld the flat bars? I would be worried about the cantilevered nature of that bracket. Hanging out on the end of that flat bar is a recipe for metal fatigue and eventual failure. It is absorbing all of the torque of the engine in one direction, then the engine braking in the other direction, and the load of the rear of the tranny bouncing up and down. Eventually they are going to break due to metal fatigue. I spent a lot of time discussing this very subject with Aaron (my machinist at Zims). We ended up making a mount that wraps around the back of the transmission and triangulates with two side mount points. Here's a picture of my 914 with a Cayman 6 speed G86-21 trans. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1143-1565317056.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1143-1565317066.jpg) You can see how it was built to prevent the flex in the mount. And I am less that 1/2 from the chassis transmission crossmember. Just my $.02. |
